Purrsian Blue Catmint (Nepeta faassenii ‘Purrsian Blue’) is a compact, long-blooming perennial that produces clouds of soft lavender-blue flowers above fragrant silver-green foliage from late spring through fall. This pollinator favorite forms a tidy, mounded habit that looks beautiful spilling along pathways, softening borders, or filling sunny containers and cottage gardens.
Exceptionally easy to grow, Purrsian Blue Catmint thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and requires very little maintenance. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love the blooms, while deer and rabbits typically avoid the aromatic foliage. A light trim after the first bloom cycle encourages fresh growth and repeat flowering throughout the season.
